Peleas de enamorados, vol. 1 : Love Fights Vol. 1 (Peleas de Enamorados)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
It's hard enough for your average person to get a date with all the anxieties we have in our modern world. For Jack, it's even worse. Where he lives, superheroes are a common sight, flying through the air and showing off their outrageous muscles in their skintight outfits. In comparison, a regular guy must seem boring and puny. So when he meets Nora in the midst of two steroid-cases beating the tar out of each other, he can't help but be a little giddy that she has agreed to go out with him. Too bad it's not that simple. Nora works for Expose, the leading magazine for superpowered trends. Chasing a scoop is a little more important to her than getting scooped off her feet, leaving Jack in the dust once again. To make matters worse, his cat, Guthrie, has gone missing, and though the feline will be returned to him - he's not going to be the same cat Jack remembers.

COMENTARIO/REVIEWS
English:
"Highly recommended. 10/10. . .a great book. . . Watson has always been strong at hitting on universal themes and problems that people can relate to. Watson's light and humorous take on super-heroes is a lot of fun so far. Tying the mundane, like a discarded cigarette or a subway ride, into the fantastic, like an underground lair or a super-battle, works out very well." -The Fourth Rail
"Love, fighting, reality-bending battles and washed out super-heroes-Love Fights blends all of these together to tell and entertaining story about responsibility. Watson's story is sweet and entertaining for both super-hero fans and nonfans alike." -Mediasharx
"Watson's and Oni's new ongoing series is a real winner. A great mix of reality and the fantastic, there's a little something here for everyone to love." --Icomics
"Andi Watson offers the year's most heart-warming love story, and manages to wrap it around a superhero plot that is amazingly both a parody and a tribute to DC's classic Crisis storyline. His art remains simplistic and stylish, but with such an energy and emotion that makes me rate him above most of the current comics artists." ---The Nexus
"This is a terrific new series. I fell in love with the first issue. The art is wonderful, the characters are intriguing and the interwoven stories are fascinating. I can't wait to see what happens next." --Sequential Tart
"Visually stylistic, truthful and hilarious, Love Fights is true comic book original. Highly recommended." --CHUD (Cinematic Happenings Under Development)
"You! Reader! Do you like superheroes? Do you feel that there are stories yet to be told in comic form that can only be recounted using the wondrous tropes and clichés of the superhero genre? Chances are, then, that this is the comic you have been waiting for... And yet, it will be so much more than you might have dared hope for. Andi Watson is at the helm for this tale, which means it involves absolutely everything one might expect from one of his comics - a charming and whimsical tale involving romances and a wicked sense of ironic humour (plus superheroes), and gorgeous, minimalist art that applies the graceful and sparse lines of Cubism, perhaps, or Soviet propaganda artwork (but with superheroes). One of the best comics out there - and it's a superhero comic! Wow!" --Ninth Art
